I am glad so many of you are as shocked as I was. As I stated in another post, I come from a Puppy Mill state, so early weaning is only one of the problems many pupies face in the Midwest. Many of you reffered to her as a back yard breeder (to me, this means some one who wants their dogs to have puppies, but they never do the research or develope a good raport with vets, etc. Hobby breeders take the time to research and improve thier standard and socialize each pup. They may only have one female, but they are educated and care.). Or she could have many litters a year and simply not gaive a damn like many breeders out there.

Educating the buyers is more important than the breeders when it comes to ending cycles of animals abuse and neglect. What that woman was doing to those yorkie pups is animal endangerment and she should be fined or jailed.
